The police are investigating Jeremy Clarkson's alleged assault on his producer

North Yorkshire Police are investigating former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson over his assault of a BBC producer, Sky News is reporting.

The police force has asked for the BBC’s file on the Clarkson “fracas,” saying they will take action “where necessary.”

Clarkson was suspended from motoring show Top Gear after verbally abusing and assaulting producer Oisin Tymon, and today the BBC announced it would not be renewing Clarkson’s contract — effectively firing him.

The attack on Tymon lasted around 30 seconds, ending after a witness intervened.
